Linux Developers Still Reject NVIDIA Using DMA-BUF

[Sonadow]

ricer gamers? ricer machines? Yes, we know PC gaming is big in Korea and Japan, but is the racism really needed?

Let that joker rant all he wants.

Apparently he's so stuck in his little fantasy world of 'just enough' that he doesn not even know what the REAL gamers and enthusiasts over in Windows land are doing.

Y'know, the real fun things like water cooling, vBIOS moding/flashing, GPU core overclocking, CPU overclocking, memory clock modifications, etc etc just so that they can squeeze out an additional 10fps to run their games on Ultra settings, 16x MSAA, AA features, PhyX enabled, with advanced DX 11 enhancements such as tesselation and so on on a 5-monitor setup for the sheer experience that the game is capable of offering.

Things that Linux will never ever get to see, period, because everybody there is only interested in playing their games at 1024 x 768 with a shoddy driver delivering only 50fps at Low settings with every enhancement turned off.

Nouveau surpassing Nvidia's blob in performance? Sure...in another 20 years perhaps.

He's just jealous because he can't game on Linux, and forget about proper drivers.

Morons like that is what we need less in the Linux community.

It's in the first paragraph of the (modified) GPL license at the top of the Linux kernel source code tree :

What we said was that with HD8000 we would try to have open source driver support at launch time. Nothing about eliminating Catalyst support.

And you also said that will be on par with catalyst. You actually lie to as for 40th time, make as believe that we will able to replace catalyst. You always do the same since radeonX1950 with a face GPGPU promise.

Fake and fake.

I don't think we said either of those things.

Fake and fake.

That's better. Thanks !

Forgot ironit tag?

That's your own problem for reading too deep into a simple comment.

He only said that they hope to have launch day support with the open radeon driver when HD8xxx is released. NOTHING about replacing Catalyst anywhere. The idea that the radeon driver can replace Catalust is just what YOU wanted it to be and was never ever mentioned anywhere by Bridgman.

NOT irony. Fact.

In MY country, any serious gamer owns a water-cooled machine and does all that. And I'm proud to be part of that group. Or rather, WAS a part of. Stopped with the water cooling some years back after neglecting to secure the pipes properly after taking them apart to clean and replace the distilled water and a leak shorted out the whole machine.

Why ?

-we are talking about an interface here
-Why the fuck should i buy an optimus laptop with a discrete nvidia card when i don't want to do some gaming ? And please don't tell me i should use noveau for that ! If you want to tell me now that nvidia simply should open their specs and provide documentation, then take a look where radeon is WITH all these infos .
-Freedom of choice ! If the enduser wants to use the nvidia blob for whatever reason, he should be able to get the best features out of it.

I would be really happy to see the linux desktop market share growing. Really ! But to make this happen the users need to get the best experience possible, no matter if we are talking about an opensource or closed driver.

I speak for something AMD said years ago, not for their latest comments for support from the launch date. If they not remember fine, its been years.
